Serving Our Community, Locally and Worldwide
Chartered in 1986, the Rotary Club of Columbia/Patuxent is a vibrant and diverse group of community members from Columbia and Howard County, united by a shared passion for making a positive difference. As the largest club in the county, we actively volunteer both locally and globally, supporting a wide range of causes, from education and clean water to hunger relief and healthcare.
With a warm, welcoming atmosphere, our meetings are filled with lively conversations, engaging speakers, and a shared sense of purpose. We take pride in our fundraising efforts, which have contributed over $1 million to local and international projects. If you’re looking to connect with your community and make a meaningful impact, we invite you to join us and experience the camaraderie and fulfillment that comes with being a part of our Rotary family.
